To implement the EU 3rd energy package, the Government of Estonia decided on 28 August 2009 to go for an ownership unbundling and to buy out Elering from Eesti Energia.

Together with Finnish state-owned company Baltic Connector OY, Elering is developing the undersea gas pipeline Balticconnector between Estonia and Finland.
